lyrics

He called you up without a phone
and you swore it felt like a home
but the road in your bones
was offering intention
you thought that fuel would ease the flame
but all horizons look the same
took a blade to your name
to clarify intention
perpetual reinvention

In embers found above a cup
you saw the morning light her up
a smoulder and a scale
offering intention
piece by piece your fortune died
still in pursuit your eyes denied
you swore that you tried
offering intention
perpetual reinvention

You felt her ghost run into you
but wouldn't face that it was true
in whispers that she swore
were offering intention
and when her hand reached for the wall
you were sure you'd seen it all
the fragile and sublime
offering intention
perpetual reinvention

and when you found the holy lamb
you knew for sure that you were damned
the weight of a man
despite best intentions
and although your judgement came
still you refuse to take your name
I'm the one that you call
what you've done not intention
perpetual reinvention

You spoke so fast to beat the word
but couldn't face the sounds you heard
the floor on your knees
offering intention
it didn't seem like it could break
until you saw it on her face
the fool and the flame
offering intention
perpetual reinvention

You stood before the book of man
but wouldn't take it in your hand
the ink and the pin
offering intention
a vastness you had brought to rights
and returned to every night
every pit in your skin
offering intention
perpetual reinvention

Suspicious death had come too soon
a shadow that had drawn on you
a joke you took to heart
to alleviate intention
you service leaves them with a smile
as they depart in single file
the apple and the dart
offering temptation
perpetual reinvention
